When milking a cow you need a lot of good quality equipment to ensure the safety and quality of your milk, and that milking is less of a chore and feels more like a relaxing routine.

Our daily milking routine starts with letting our calf out. The calf starts the let down process. After a minute the calf is removed from our cow, and she is led into the stanchion.
The cow is brushed, teats are dipped in a cleaning solution, and wiped dry. K puts gloves on, does a strip test to see that the milk is clear of any disease or bacteria, and then begins milking into the bucket.
Once the milking is complete, the milk comes inside, is strained, then put in the half gallon jars and put in the freezer.
Our cow gives A2A2 milk, which is believed to be a better milk for humans to digest. We discus A2A2 MILK and it's benefits in the video.
